What do you mean by, "taking only three marijuanas"?

This was a non-issue; glad it's been cleared.

Politics. Some fighters go through Hell to lift a suspension. Others only have to show up at a hearing. We all knew she was lighting up with Papoose. Rules are rules. Sometimes. What a f.ilthy sport.

What I said.

From the article:

“At the compliance conference, Respondent provided evidence that her conduct no longer poses an imminent threat to the integrity of the sport, the public interest, or the welfare and safety of a contestant.”

What does this even mean? What evidence was provided? And what was "no longer" posing an imminent threat? Did she convince them that she won't consume marijuana anymore, which means that marijuana consumption is still technically prohibited?

It's ridiculous that she was even suspended over marijuana to begin with. Weed is not a PED.

[White-Bob]

Athletes should be able to smoke.

From "GWOAT" to smoked to WOKED!!!

Weed is not legal everywhere, and it is still against federal laws [most don't care] but to put into context. As an athlete, you know what is prohibited. If not, your trainer and mgmt staff do. So stop with the it's legal or it's not a PED... Neither is Alcohol but it's not allowed either...
